Product Features

Seamless screen update using asynchronous JavaScript (AJAX)

Standard SAP IPC user interface only provides rules validation and price update by a complete screen refresh (possibly including re-scrolling), forcing the user to wait before making additional selections. ConfigAir UI provides a seamless, no-refresh validation of all rules and pricing, allowing the user to proceed without interruptions.

Integrated 2D / 3D product visualization

SAP IPC has only a limited capability of dynamic product visualization based on static overlaid GIF images. ConfigAir UI has a rich framework for product visualization supporting complex layout logic and bi-directional integration between the visualization scene and the SAP product model. Both two-dimensional (2D) and 3-dimensional visualization is supported. All updates to the visualization are seamless and do not require screen refresh.

Example of a simple 2D visualization, including static feature images with drag & drop operation. Instance images from the instance tree can be dragged and dropped into a particular layer / position in the product visualization area in the right-hand pane:

Extensive library of rich user interface widgets

Explicit support for SAP Solution Sales Configuration

ConfigAir UI is built with full-features support for complex product / service multi-level solution configurations, with an AJAX enabled configuration instance tree and selection of Advanced Data Type (ADT) characteristics.

Other functions

ConfigAir UI attempts to assist a power user in multiple areas in order to find the information required as quickly as possible - for example in the case of selections with many available values, power users can start typing the values directly and the user interface automatically filters available values:

Required characteristics are highlighted with a yellow background (and optionally an interactive tooltip):
